For several years, I have assumed that this was going on, but now we know and I’ve reached an even higher level of disgust with U.S. Public Health Establishment.

Linked article from the Washington Free Beacon, “Prominent Virologist Warned Intelligence Community COVID-19 Could Have Leaked From Wuhan Lab. Then He Met With Fauci and Changed His Tune: The researcher, UNC professor Ralph Baric, also privately downplayed the wet market theory but publicly lent it credit.”

A prominent U.S. virologist who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology before the COVID-19 pandemic privately informed the U.S. intelligence community in January 2020 that the Chinese lab may be responsible for the outbreak. But in his public remarks to congressional staffers one month later—and after meeting with former White House health adviser Anthony Fauci—the researcher stayed mum about the Wuhan lab and lent credence to the discredited wet market theory.
